Breezestar's Mistake

Chapter Sixteen

Breezestar discussed how Foxtail attacked him about Fuzzytail. Nightshade nodded understanding. "She wants the answers, you can't blame her," she said calmly. "I hope you're right," Breezestar mewed.

Fireclaw then padded into the den. Breezestar just looked at her. "Breezestar, Rabbittail wants to see you." He nodded and walked out of the den. Surprisingly, as he got out, Fireclaw licked him affectionately on the shoulder. No cat has done that for awhile. Breezestar wished it was the same. Breezestar continued. At least she has some respect, he thought to himself. He saw a crowd waiting for him outside. Rabbittail was in front of them all though. Along with his brother, Whitefur. "Hey Rabbit, tell him," the white pelted tom said. Rabbittail nudged Whitefur. "Well, to start with, the patrol didn't go good," Rabbittail sighed. Breezestar was confused. The only thing bad at the moment was disrespect and battle injuries. "What do you mean? What happened?" Rabbittail nibbled at his shoulder nervously. His eyes suddenly became dull. "Sunfrost was attacked by the old rogue. She was badly injured. We weren't there to help. The others still act like they are slaves and didn't help when they saw she was hurt. But me and Whitefur did. She's in the medicine cat den."

Fireclaw, Burnpelt, Emberfoot, and Lionshade looked worried. Actually, every cat except Breezestar did. "Go on a huge patrol with Lionshade, Emberfoot, Whitetail, Drytail, Shadeclaw, Whitefur, Leopardclaw, Burnpelt, and whoever else and find that rogue. Me and Fireclaw will go see Sunfrost," he growled with his neck fur bristling.

He didn't want anymore dangers. Though he did cause chaos for Rippleclan and Flameclan. But now they are happy. . . maybe. Fireclaw came to follow Breezestar to the medicine cat den. There, Sunfrost was lying down. She groaned as Orangeleaf checked her stomach. "Don't exercise too much. I don't want it to cut open again!" Orangeleaf mewed. Again? How much was Flameclan and Rippleclan hiding from them? He sighed impatiently. Everybody did hate him at the moment. "Fireclaw you go handle her," he growled. "I'm gonna go see the kits. Before Fireclaw could catch him, he ran out into the queens' den. Nightshade curled up around her kits. "Who's there?" She opened her eyes slightly. "Oh welcome Breezestar." Everybody seemed to be tired after the battle. Nightshade didn't fight at all. She was just tired after the kits. Duh. "Ok Nightshade, I want to know if you actually like me. We haven't been hanging out that much, and other cats seem to hate me. I had to kill-" Breezestar cut off. He told nobody about Badgerfang, the she he killed at the battle. "Can I tell you a secret?" She nodded. He opened his mouth once again. "I love you." "I know," Nightshade didn't seem to care. She just went back to sleep. Breezestar wished he had the time to talk to her. But be was busy. These he walked out of the den slowly. An image of Nightshade when he first met her popped in his mind. He ran back in.

"I killed Badgerfang."
